SYDNEY — The Cape Breton Glass Screaming Eagles will take to the ice this weekend at home when they host the first-place Metro Boston Pizza in Nova Scotia Female Midget ‘AAA’ Hockey League action.

The two teams meet tonight at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at Centennial Arena in Sydney.

The Screaming Eagles hold third place in the league standings with a 4-9-0-4 mark for 12 points, two up on the Subway Northern Storm (3-10-0-4).

Cape Breton has a difficult task ahead in facing the Metro club, the top team in the league with a 15-1-0-0 record. The visitors, unbeaten in their last 12 games, also boast the top four scorers in the league in Breanna Lanceleve, Laura Polak, Victoria MacIntosh and Annie MacDonald.

But the Screaming Eagles have some weapons of their own. They’re led by Brittany Pyke, who has seven goals and five assists for 12 points in 17 games. Shelby MacNeil (six goals, two assists) and Emilie Routledge (four goals, four assists) have also been contributing to the offence.

The Cape Breton team will be holding a food drive at both games this weekend. Fans are encouraged to drop off non-perishable food items which will be donated to the Salvation Army. The Screaming Eagles have been heavily involved in the community this season, raising money for breast cancer research, passing out gifts to sick children in hospital and collecting coats for kids among many other initiatives.
